Many good plays penned by residents of Ayiti remain unknown to the world because of the language barrier. Ebony: The Black Rose..., formulated in a much-diffused language: American English, anticipates promoting new awareness about theatre in my place of birth, and about the manipulation of the theatre for either domination or liberation. There shall be no argument that the earliest recording of dramatic experiences began with the Greeks in Europe, but as well there should not be any squabble to recognize that Cap-François, in Ayiti, the once most impressive colonial city in the American continent, also called "the Paris of the Antilles," is the hub of the theatre arts in the heart of America (read Bob Lapierre: The Ayitian Theatre).
- To Ayiti and all Ayitians! Hopefully, one day, they will learn to prize what they had dearest and honor the memories of those who sacrificed so heavily to unchain them and lead them to victory against their European oppressors. Expect one day to see the rebirth of the Black Rose in the heart of the so-called American continent!
